South Africa Distances From Army Chief’s Comments In Iran Amid Trump Row | Firstpost Africa

South Africa’s military chief visited Iran this week, meeting with Iranian army officials to discuss defence and strategic cooperation. During the visit, both sides voiced opposition to what they called “global arrogance” and “colonial approaches,” with South Africa reaffirming support for oppressed populations and highlighting its genocide case against Israel. The timing comes as Pretoria’s relations with the United States hit an all-time low under President Trump, amid disputes over Israel and allegations of discrimination against the white minority. The visit sparked domestic backlash, with President Cyril Ramaphosa and the ruling ANC distancing themselves from the army chief’s remarks, emphasising foreign policy remains the presidency’s mandate.

1. Iran constitution – women and children have no human rights
2. Iran passed a law TO KEGALISE RAPE OF 8YR OLD CHILDREN – calling it marriage.
3. He must read the Quran and see what Allah says about FRIENSHIP with non Muslims – oh maybe he is a Muslim already like Naledi Pandor and Nelson Mandela, he is just not telling

Anc must be overthrown

As a South African I think I speak for only myself (because no one here agrees on anything) when I say the south African government is completely separate from the south African people who are suffering under occupation (being held hostage) by a criminal organisation masquerading as a government

If these are our leaders what does that say about us😂

Who is the ANC government trying to fool, they sent him there to show solidarity, on behalf of the ANC government

Trump is not dumb…

I am proudly South African 🇿🇦

Who is distancing our country from the visit of General Rundzani and his remarks in Iran?
If it's ANC I'm deeply saddened
DA is simply a tool of the West

Our country shall be rescued through our Generals
Captain Ibrahim Traoure, Colonel Abdhulamani Tchiani and Colonel Assimi Goita are leading Africa

Our Generals can✊

The truth is that both the so called SA president and a SA general rub shoulders with the same muslim terrorists

Is Iran not a country I don't see anything wrong if is america people will be quite, we are no longer colonized and one to choose for south Africa south Africa is a land of black people america will not control our nation

Be ready Iran and South Africa have declared war on the USA Now we just retrieve our armaments from the DRC we left behind after we were defeated by a few rebels and beware Trump because Angie will be in the forfront and our navy with two submarines although one is waiting on spares will be ready Bring it on Trump

Bold speech by CSANDF❤❤❤❤❤❤

South Africa is not a TENTACLE of the USA.

Who's in charge?

I believe that South African taxi owners are infringing on our basic rights. Every citizen has the freedom to choose their mode of transport — whether to use a taxi, or to drive their own private car with family and friends. Taxi owners have no authority to dictate how we travel. They have overstepped their boundaries, and they cannot rule our lives.

We have a constitutional right to freedom of choice and freedom of movement. If government continues to ignore this situation because of its links to the taxi industry, it is proof of corruption — from Parliament down to the taxi operators. Taxi drivers do not contribute fairly to the tax system, nor do they provide pensions or proper benefits to their own drivers, yet ordinary citizens are expected to work hard, pay taxes, and still be subjected to this exploitation and intimidation.

This is corruption. This is brutality. This is a violation of our human rights, our freedom of choice, and our democracy. It cannot be accepted any longer.

There is nothing here Iran 🇮🇷 is not our enemy

Whyte people discriminate black people in South Africa for long time you cry when turning back to you IS TYM don't cry

S A don't have army what's the chief doing

God, please shield him at all times. ❤❤❤️

EHHHHHHH

It’s very simple
Good = BRICS countries
Sovereignty & culture religion and national wealth.
All for the people

Evil = G7 West countries
Blood thirsty vampires & demons running a democracy with no religion and for LGBTQ future.
War is their game and money their GOD.
Fiat Currency is useless toilet paper..

Time ⏱️to free ourselves from the modern Slave system.

Ramaposa shud stop negotiating with trump.

SA is being hijacked right under our noses. From one oppressor, to another. The West may have stolen minerals etc, but wait till the M East comes for our LAND, religion, & our human rights & freedoms … Do people even know the history of I r a n & their political ideologies/systems & HR atrocities of its people. We have a Constitution here, but wait till our Gov bends the knee when it's got a sword to it's neck, and whilst some in high places have accumulated millions to bail ship, it will be your families and mine that will pay the price, when the time is right. What type of "intel" does I r a n need from our "Army Chief." Think about it. Why would a figure that is meant to be a part of our countries "Defence Force" be meeting with another gov in "secret." There are some alliances that will be a detriment to our futures, & our kids futures. North Africa has paid the price heavily, looks like the South is next … Watch this space … I smell s l e e p e r c e l l s in our midst …
